I am a stepmother of 7 kids.I only have a problem with 1.The 6 year old boy has caused problems since day 1.Me and my husband argue all the time about him.It is tearing us apart. I have 5 children of my own including a 6 yr. old son and he does not act no where near the same as my step son. I am ready to run. I feel bad cause i have no feelings anymore for him he has hurt me and my own childrn in many ways and my husband does not see it and he does not believe me when i say it. When he catches him doing something he will make up excuses for him. My step son wets to bed well not only to bed on purpose but in his pants any time he wants when my husband isnt home of course. i dont know what to do. I cant deal with it anymore.

Good Lord!

You could have your own Fox Reality Show. Seriously though, how could you not be stressed!

We all smile in the same language

I wish Fox would send in some back up. I swear I'm crazy. I lose my mind more and more each day. But am finally glad I have found people that understand and can talk to.

I think that's alot on your plate and i understand your frustration. Thats alot to deal with. I think its time for hard ball. This little guy is doing it for attention,,he may also have a bladder problem. Rule that out first and then play hard ball on him. He pees in his pants....let him sit in it. Sorry...i do this to my own son.
Speak to your husband and tell him to just stop making excuses...you dont have time for that. Have a family meeting about do's and dont's in the house...cause if its only the 6 year old....get his siblings on his back. That is also going to help.

Do you and DH argue about SS6 when he's around? He could be acting out if he knows that you and DH argue about him. Next time he wets himself, ask him why he did it. Ask him, if he knows he has to use the bathroom, why does he wet himself. Does he do this while he's in school too, or just at home when DH isn't around? Being that his mom was on crack, it could have messed with him if she was smoking while pregnant. I'd take him to a doc for a check-up and ask the doc how to stop the behavior.
